I find that even for topics related to money the top hits on Google are all completely useless spam. I was looking for information about companies selling software components and just found a bunch of "sellyourappnow.com" offering Fruit Ninja clones for a few hundred bucks. For whatever reason businesses that love their margins more than their customers find it's much more convenient to astroturf services like Yelp than to actually provide something worth buying. And services like Yelp always seem to find that it's more lucrative to extort money from businesses in exchange for reorganizing their ratings. I'd love to have a way for regular people to recommend things that was invulnerable to astroturfing but I have no idea what it would look like.
